No, that is not the sound of me opening a bottle of wine although, now you mention it...
It's the sound of a plug.
(Oh, all right, that was crap - but bear with me...)
Strange what different things we end up doing with their lives. From the various people I know from university, the jobs that they've gone on to do vary from police work to lecturing, freelance photography to IT, accountancy to wine tasting (yes, I am particularly jealous of the last one).
But perhaps the one that impresses me most is this:
So while I spent my time after university working in various crappy temporary administrative jobs, bumming around the world for a year, returning to work in various crappy writing jobs and am now finally getting it together to do my own thing, one of my friends started his own fantastically worthwhile charity, which has expanded from tiny beginnings in Sri Lanka to move into setting up further projects in south India and, most recently, northern Thailand.
Don't you just hate impressive, lovely bastards like that?

Is there such a thing as being //too// altruistic? Is there a word for it?
